On Friday, January 24, 2025, at approximately 09:30 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Josiah Gathing met with Licensee Sima Eskandari, for the purpose of a complaint investigation and to deliver findings. It was alleged that an adult in home inappropriately touched day care child, an adult in home used inappropriate form of punishment, an adult in home made inappropriate comments towards day care child, and the Licensee took videos of day care children wearing inappropriate clothing. LPA reviewed interviews by Investigator Austin Blatnick from the Department's Investigations Branch and did not find them sufficient to prove the allegations. Children stated in additional interview with LPA that adults in the facility are nice to the children. Staff stated in additional interview with LPA that discipline policies involve communicating with the children, having the children communicate with each other, and involving the parents when necessary. Staff stated in interview that affection toward children may be different in their culture, but staff never make the children uncomfortable with comments or touching. Licensee stated that she obtains permission from parents to make costumes for some of the children during dancing activities.

Licensee stated that she has provided videos to parents of these dancing activities. Parents stated in interview that they have only had positive experiences with the Licensee and that their children have never complained about their treatment by staff in the facility. Parents stated in interview that they have given the Licensee permission to provide costumes for their children, and that they have received videos from the Licensee.
Although the alleged violations may have happened or are valid, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met to fully prove or disprove that they did or did not occur, therefore, they are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and a notice of site visit provided. Notice of site visit shall remain posted for 30 days.
